ASCOT PARK RACEWAY   19 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

CANADA STAKES 3YO FILLIES MOBILE PACE 1700m

Track: GOOD      

DUCHESS OF KENT (6) has been freshened since she was down the track in the NZ Oaks last start and had been good when placed in her other two starts this time in including a Group 1 placing in the Nevele Series Final. A repeat of that performance would take her close in this. ALWAYS B MAGIC (7) has been midfield when tackling the good fillies at Group 1 level at her last couple and put two wins together before that so will enjoy the class drop. Can measure up in this line-up. TOSANA (5) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 3.5 metres at Central Southland Raceway over 1609m. ANITA MARY (1) broke through last time out over 2200m at this track. Must be included with the confidence up.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 4 m as favourite (Fr2) at Geraldine (2:26.00) beating Vesta in 3yo+ FM on December 6 at $2.60. Two runs back 2nd (Fr4) over 1980m at Addington was leading by 2.3m on the pegs at the bell, beaten a neck by Crackle N Crunch (2:27.10) in 3yo+ on November 7 at $9.60. This looks a far sterner task.
